- Referring now to
FIGS. 1-4 , shown therein is anexemplary imaging engine 100 in accordance with at least some embodiments of the present invention.Imaging engine 100 may be implemented in a variety of application, including, but not limited to, handheld barcode readers, kiosks, countertops, and any other application where barcode reading can be desired. Internally, the imaging engine can generally include an imaging sensor with an optical lens assembly configured to focus light onto the imaging sensor over a predetermined field of view (FOV), an aiming assembly configured to produce an aiming pattern indicative of some portion of the FOV (e.g., the center region), an illumination assembly configured to illuminate a target during image capture, a processor operable to control the aforementioned components and to process image data obtained by the image sensor, a memory (which may be a part of the processor) configured to store image data pre and/or post processing, and a decode assembly (which may be a part of the processor) configured to process image data to determine a presence of a decodable indicia (e.g., 1D barcode, 2D barcode, 3D barcode, direct-part-marking code, etc.) and output a result of decoding said indicia. The at least some of the aforementioned components can be mounted appropriately on one or multiple printed circuit boards (PCBs) with cables, ribbon cables, or flexible circuit boards connecting the multiple boards in embodiments where such configuration is implemented. Additionally, one or more chassis components can be used to fixate the position of the PCB(s) and/or the optical lens assembly relative to the rest of the housing. Moreover, a communication and/or a power port (e.g., universal serial bus [USB]) can be provided allowing an external cable to electrically interface with components of the imaging engine. - As illustrated, the
imaging engine 100 is encased within ahousing 102 having a plurality of sides, which in the present embodiment include afirst side 104, asecond side 106, athird side 108, afourth side 110, afifth side 112, and asixth side 114. Generally, thefirst side 104 may be viewed as the front side of theimaging engine 100 where awindow 116 is positioned. Thewindow 116 is installed to allow the optical elements like thelens assembly 118, aimingassembly 120, andillumination assembly 122 to have an ingress or exit path to allow light to pass to and from the internal components of the imaging engine. Thesecond side 106 and thethird side 108 may be viewed as the left and right sides (when facing the forward side) and are positioned substantially orthogonally to thefirst side 104. Thefourth side 110 and thefifth side 112 may be viewed as the top and bottom sides. Both of these sides extend between thesecond side 106 and thethird side 108, and substantially orthogonally to thefirst side 104. Additionally,imaging engine 100 includes asixth side 114 which can be generally viewed as a rear side that extends between the second 106 and third 108 sides and fourth 110 and fifth 112 sides. - It should be understood that while in some of the embodiments sides 104-114 can be substantially flat, in other instances these sides may have additional features thereon. These features can include protrusions, notches, seams, bevels, extensions, cutouts, and so on. As an example, the
connector housing portion 124 that extends away from thesixth side 114 may be viewed as an exemplary extension.Connector housing portion 124 is an integral part of thehousing 102 and is provided to house a connector element (e.g., an RJ45 or a USB jack) to allow aconnector 126 of an external cable to connect thereto and thereby interface the internal components of theimaging engine 100. As best seen inFIGS. 3 and 4 , in the presently described embodiment,connector housing portion 124 extends away from thesixth side 114 in a rearward direction sufficiently to accommodate a transverse insertion of theconnector 126. - To help the
connector 126 remain securely attached to the interface of theimaging engine 100, at least some embodiments of the presently described invention can include acable tie 128. Referring toFIGS. 3-8 ,cable tie 128 generally includes ahead portion 130 and astrap portion 132. To help capture the connector and a part of the cable in place, thehead portion 130 includes atrough 134 extending along a trough axis and aloop 136 extending along a loop plane that is substantially parallel to the trough axis. In practice, the user/installer can feed theconnector 126 through theloop 130 positioning the rear end of the connector (i.e., thecable end 138 of theconnector 126 or the cable itself) with thetrough 134. To allow for such threading and positioning, anunobstructed passage 140 is provided between thetrough 134 and theloop 136 where in preferred embodiments theconnector 126 is wider than the trough and narrower than the loop, and a cable that is connected to theconnector 126 is substantially as wide as or narrower than the trough. Additionally, theloop 136 can have a substantially rectangular shape having an inner with, for example, 34 mm or less. Once theconnector 126 is threaded through theloop 136, it is mated with theimaging engine 100 and thestrap portion 132, which extends from aportion 142 of theloop 136 opposite theunobstructed passage 140, is wrapped around theconnector housing portion 124 and back towards thehead portion 130 which includes anaperture 144 for receiving thestrap portion 132 therethrough. In preferred embodiments thestrap portion 132 is constructed of a resilient yet elastic material or compound including, for example, plastic or rubber. Also, in preferred embodiments, thestrap portion 132 is constructed from a material that is more elastic that theloop 130. Such construction can help retain the form and the rigidity of thehead portion 130 which is preferable for the implementation of at least some embodiments of the present invention. - To secure the
connector 126 against theimaging engine 100, thestrap portion 132 is threaded through theaperture 144 which includes a securing mechanism (e.g., a ratcheting lip configured to lock against ribs provided in the strap portion) that prevents thestrap portion 132 from backing out. Since theconnector 126 is wider than thetrough 134, tightening thestrap portion 132 causes thehead portion 130 to advance transversely towards theconnector housing portion 124 biasing theconnector 126. This coupled with the securing mechanism which prevents the release of thestrap portion 132 from thehead portion 130 causes theconnector 126 to be biased toward theconnector housing portion 124 via thetrough 134. In some embodiments, theconnector housing portion 124 includes one ormore grooves 146 configured to guide thestrap portion 132 along a predetermined path and prevent unintended displacement when thecable tie 128 is tightened. - As shown in
FIGS. 7-9 , in addition to being particularly advantageous to securing theconnector 126 against theimaging engine 100, thecable tie 128 can act as a cable guide by having thecable 148 be threaded through theloop portion 136. This can help provide additional restraint to thecable 148 andconnector 126 assembly by directing thecable 148 to its intended direction. - In some embodiments, the
imaging engine 100 may incorporate acover 150 that is positioned over a portion of thehousing 102 and that includes afirst wall 151, asecond wall 153 extending substantially orthogonally from the first wall, and athird wall 155 extending substantially orthogonally from the first wall. To help position thecover 150, both thehousing 102 and thecover 150 include corresponding alignment features. Referring to the presently described embodiment and particularly toFIGS. 3, 4, and 11 , thehousing 102 includes four alignment features (provided in this case as notches) 152, 154, 156, 158. In the current embodiment, each of the alignment features 152, 154, 156, 158 is provided along an edge between two sides. Thus, it may be said that:alignment feature 152 is provided on thesecond side 106 and/or thefifth side 112;alignment feature 154 is provided on thethird side 108 and/or thefifth side 112;alignment feature 156 is provided on thethird side 108 and/or thefourth side 110; andalignment feature 158 is provided on thesecond side 106 and/or thefourth side 110. In other example, though, alignment features may be positioned away from the edges and more towards the center of any one of the sides. Moreover, additional alignment features 160, 162 can be provided on other portions of thehousing 102. - To secure the
cover 150 on thehousing 102 of theimaging engine 100, the alignment features 152, 154, 156, 158 are configured to be interfaced with the corresponding alignment features 164 (positioned at a distal end of thesecond wall 153 relative to the first wall 151), 166 (positioned at a distal end of thethird wall 155 relative to the first wall 151) of thecover 150. In the currently described embodiment, the corresponding alignment features 164, 166 are comprised of protrusions which are formed to be received by thenotches protrusions notches protrusions notches cover 150 in its intended place. - It should be appreciated that in the case of
FIG. 11 , only two 152, 154, of the four 152, 154, 156, 158 alignment features are engaged by the corresponding alignment features 164, 166 of thecover 150. This arrangement allows thecover 150 to be alternatively mountable between a first orientation (in this case the orientation shown inFIG. 11 where thefifth side 112 of thehousing 102 is left exposed and a diametrically opposed second orientation relative to the housing (not shown). In the second orientation, the corresponding alignment features 164, 166 would engage the alignment features 156, 158 on thehousing 102, whereby thecover 150 would cover thefifth side 112 and leave thefourth side 110 exposed. Omitting a cover wall that is diametrically opposite of thefirst cover wall 151 can enable the imaging engine to be mounted on a variety of surfaces with greater ease. - In at least some embodiments, the
cover 150 includes afourth wall 167 extending between thesecond cover wall 153 and thethird cover wall 155, and afirst cutout 168 configured to permit the field of view of the imaging assembly to pass therethrough when thecover 150 is mounted to thehousing 102. Also, in some embodiment, thecover 150 includes afifth cover wall 169 extending between thesecond cover wall 153 and thethird cover wall 155 where thefifth cover wall 155 including at least onesecond cutout 170 configured to pass a cable (e.g., cable 148) therethrough. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , in some embodiments, the imaging engine described herein can also include an auditory signal device (e.g., a microphone) which is configured to sound an alert (e.g., a beep) upon a successful decoding of an indicia captured by the imaging engine. In a preferred embodiment, this auditory signal device is positioned at acorner 172 of thehousing 102 where three sides meet. In case of the currently described embodiment, the sound port is positioned at a meeting point of thefirst side 104,second side 106, andfourth side 110. - By utilizing one of the corners of the front face, it is possible to create an angled surface with respect to the front side and the two adjacent sides, and place the sound port in that surface. This allows the sound to exit regardless of which side is used to mount the imaging engine. Additionally, as shown in
FIG. 13 , when used in akiosk 174, the position of thesound port 172 can still remain adjacent to the side (in this case 104) which is used for mounting theimaging engine 100 to the kiosk structure, and thus allow the kiosk to provide akiosk sound port 176 within close proximity to the imagingengine sound port 172. - Note that while this invention has been described in terms of several embodiments, these embodiments are non-limiting (regardless of whether they have been labeled as exemplary or not), and there are alterations, permutations, and equivalents, which fall within the scope of this invention. Additionally, the described embodiments should not be interpreted as mutually exclusive, and should instead be understood as potentially combinable if such combinations are permissive. It should also be noted that there are many alternative ways of implementing the methods and apparatuses of the present invention. It is therefore intended that claims that may follow be interpreted as including all such alterations, permutations, and equivalents as fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.
